Dustin Siggins: What is your disability?
Melissa Ortiz: I have congenital, neurological malformation with hydrocephalus. That’s a big, fancy way of saying part of my brain did not form properly. Unlike other people, the fluid between my brain and spine isn’t correctly balanced, ever, because the malformation sits on the canal that controls the balance. The imbalance is either too much in one area – my head or my spine – & not enough in the other. I can’t have a shunt because it makes the problem worse. Also, I’ve had meningitis four times.
DS: What does this mean in a practical, day-to-day manner?
MO: It means I ...

Today, following the passing of conservative blogger and activist Andrew Breitbart, Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party Patriots released the following statement:
“Andrew Breitbart was essential to the liberty movement. One of the things that our grassroots knew and appreciated was his willingness to fight for our values boldly and brashly. If more of our elected officials support our principles and core values as fearlessly as Andrew did, our country would be in a much better place today. He cared passionately about our country and it was evident in his words and deeds.
“In private, he spoke to me about the importance of his family and ...

TEA PARTY PATRIOTS:
Tea Party first to cheer Cruz bid (quote by Jenny Beth)
“He's a leader of the Tea Party in Washington, so it's not a surprise that Tea Party leaders are heaping praise on Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential announcement today. Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, was the first to embrace Cruz, noting his firm stands on conservative principles. "It's fitting that Sen. Ted Cruz is the first announced candidate in the GOP presidential field," Martin said in a statement. "In his two short years in the Senate, he has yielded to no one in championing the values of personal freedom, economic freedom and a debt-free ...

Conservative groups wary of Obamacare contingency plans (Photo of Tea Party Patriots at SCOTUS rally / Quote by Kevin Broughton)
“Conservative groups are suspicious of GOP plans to temporarily keep Obamacare's insurance subsidies flowing if they're blocked this summer by the Supreme Court. For years, groups such as Club for Growth, Heritage Action and Americans for Prosperity have hounded Congress to do all it can to undermine the Affordable Care Act. At times, lawmakers have even been forced to table Obamacare-related bills over complaints that they appeared to be improving the law instead of repealing it entirely. Now ...

TEA PARTY PATRIOTS:
On free trade, tea partyers and the left want the same thing
They're both trying to stop the Obama administration from fast tracking a deal -- but they don't coordinate to make it happen.
“…America wins because we do a better job of creating those products, we have better innovation and we have smarter marketers. That’s what we think of when we think of free trade,” says Rick Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government. “We don’t think of, 'you’re allowed to sell another 100,000 chickens into Japan.' That’s just cutting a deal for how much of a market you’re allowed to infiltrate.” Manning ...

HEALTHCARE:
We all win if Supremes gut ObamaCare
“…If the high court reins in the subsidies, here’s what’s likely to happen:
--People with ObamaCare subsidies will still be helped - No matter how the justices rule, it will have no impact on the poor. Nine out of every 10 people who are newly insured because of ObamaCare are on Medicaid, which will be unaffected. Yes, close to 6 million middle-class Americans get the questionable subsidies and so pay a fraction of their plan’s actual cost, while taxpayers pick up three-quarters of the bill. If the court nixes those subsidies, these people will be facing huge premium hikes — and the ...

HEALTHCARE:
Obamacare Co-Ops Cost Taxpayers $17,000 Per Enrollee
“More than 500,000 people enrolled in health plans offered by nonprofit insurance companies created under the Affordable Care Act. And with the co-ops receiving an average of $108.7 million from the federal government, taxpayer-backed funding per enrollee topped $17,000. Twenty-three co-ops received a total of $2.5 billion from the federal government and enrolled more than 520,000 people in plans through September. However, an analysis conducted by The Daily Signal published yesterday found that just one, Maine Community Health Options, was profitable last year. Using the latest ...

HEALTHCARE:
Insured, but Not Covered (From Feb. 7)
“WHEN Karen Pineman of Manhattan received notice that her longtime health insurance policy didn’t comply with the Affordable Care Act’s requirements, she gamely set about shopping for a new policy through the public marketplace. After all, she’d supported President Obama and the act as a matter of principle. Ms. Pineman, who is self-employed, accepted that she’d have to pay higher premiums for a plan with a narrower provider network and no out-of-network coverage. She accepted that she’d have to pay out of pocket to see her primary care physician, who didn’t participate. She even ...

TEA PARTY PATRIOTS:
Great Job So Far, Sen. McConnell. Now Cancel The Recess.
“Politicians are flirting dangerously with a deadline for funding a critical government service. A recess looms. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Republicans ran hard against executive amnesty for illegal aliens last fall, and were rewarded by voters with historic majorities. Rather than negotiate from a position of strength, GOP leadership opted to fund almost the entire government through Sept. 30, 2015 – in a lame duck session. The Department of Homeland Security was funded only through February 27, which brings us to the current impasse. Democrats – ...
